  OUTDOORS: Access options for deer hunters much the same

  County deer hunters seeking places close to home to stalk their quarry when the general modern firearms season opens Saturday, Oct. 15, will find the array of access opportunities they have grown accustomed to in recent years.

  Hunters will continue to encounter gated roads entering private timberlands in many locales, but the 'vehicle-less' access (on foot, horseback or by bike) does provide a degree of exclusivity not normally obtained on driveable logging roads.

  Public lands here will largely stay accessible by motorized forms of transportation, though rules now require a $30 vehicle permit to enter state timberlands and prohibit the operating of unlicensed off-road vehicles on the national forest.
